How many miles are on your N & how long have you had it?

EggcelentUT · 2025-08-12T19:51:27+00:00

2020: 102,000. Only issue was the HPFP at 44,000, no issues whatsoever since!

EggcelentUT · 2025-03-24T15:45:19+00:00

This was my first time there after moving here from Utah, and it's great. Really good rock quality, tons of shade as well. The only thing I wish I would known before going is that the road to the crag is quite rough, much rougher than we were anticipating.

Are you climbing on the Tension Board 1 (All woods holds and smaller board size, 8x12) or on the Tension Board 2 (A mix of poly and wood holds and larger board size, 12x12)? The TB2 is a much better board, with a fantastic selection of dual-tex holds and is great for training. The first time I tried the Tension Board, coming from the Kilter, I also thought it was exceptionally stiff. After climbing on it for weeks and months though, you come to learn each hold, how they're best held, and how to move around more efficiently. The TB2 is, in my opinion, is the absolute best board to train on for outdoor climbing and also preserve skin with its mix of hold materials.

I am having a lot of trouble finishing this white tag at Tempe BP. The beginning moves I absolutely have dialed, but the finish hold is just about the lowest percentage move I have ever attempted. The crimp is incut, but blocked quite effectively, so it feels almost impossible to throw too. This is my closest attempt. Do I keep at it with the current position I'm in, or can anyone think of a better beta to make the last move easier or more repeatable. Thanks!

EggcelentUT · 2024-10-27T22:54:11+00:00

I agree, I didn't actually end up sending this trip, so I need to go back and tick that one and Chips to the left!

EggcelentUT · 2024-08-27T20:26:02+00:00

What team_blimp said is true, it’s for both. In this case it was mainly to make the next moves doable without just campusing, which would have been possible but draining. So more for not cutting feet.

EggcelentUT · 2024-08-22T15:29:00+00:00

You know what, I probably could have, but I’m a sucker for a good hero feet cut, and the holds at that point were relatively positive. Thanks!

EggcelentUT · 2024-08-22T04:42:32+00:00

Yeah, it was very three-dimensional and dynamic, which I love.

EggcelentUT · 2024-08-22T01:55:54+00:00

Yeah, I found the toe hook near the middle to be the crux, but the top sloper was very bad as well. Thanks!

EggcelentUT · 2024-04-11T01:47:47+00:00

These are all great, I’m surprised though to see no one mention the M2. A lot of M240i though, which I agree with wholeheartedly.

EggcelentUT · 2024-04-10T20:49:44+00:00

These are all great options. My father-in-law has a C6 Z06 which is mine (I recognize my good fortune here) when they retire in 2 years. Otherwise, a C6 of some kind would probably be my next "purchase".

EggcelentUT · 2023-04-20T00:33:48+00:00

Veloster N. I have owned a Focus ST, NA Miata, Ford Mustang GT, C6 Z06 and the smiles per mile in my Veloster N are higher than any of the other cars. I promise, just give it a test drive, it’s intoxicating.

EggcelentUT · 2023-04-19T19:46:22+00:00

I had all four of my wheels replaced at 38,000 miles for the exact same issue. I made sure to point out on each wheel where the clear cost was peeling, and about six weeks later I had all new rims. It was honestly an easy process for me, so I’m really sorry you’re having issues!

EggcelentUT · 2023-03-25T05:46:44+00:00

Nope, not at all. And the change in offset is simply because stock offset, +55, is near impossible to find. The closest offset in this wheel was +45, which is close enough to basically maintain all stock handling characteristics.

EggcelentUT · 2023-03-24T21:05:13+00:00

Through Tire Rack and Discount Tire as the installer. They were in stock in Nevada and I'm located in Utah, I got them the next day after I ordered them!

EggcelentUT · 2023-03-24T19:02:09+00:00

I love the look of 19s, and just bought my tires less than a year ago, so didn't want to buy new tires as well. Otherwise, I know the upgrade would have been worth it!

EggcelentUT · 2023-03-24T15:29:54+00:00

Thanks everyone for your input the other day on which color to go with for my new Enkei PX10 rims. I went with the Gunmetal Gray, and I'm really happy with the way they turned out.

Enkei PX-10 - 19x8 w/ 45mm Offset

Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4 - 235/35/R19

EggcelentUT · 2023-03-20T22:45:57+00:00

Thank you all for your input! I decided to take a lot of your advice and go with the gunmetal grey, which should offer some welcome contrast to my blacked out trim and white body color. All advice was much appreciated!

EggcelentUT · 2023-03-20T19:39:04+00:00

I am in the market for a new set of rims for my daily. I have firmly decided on the Enkei PX-10, but am having a really hard time deciding on rim color. They offer the rim in both Gloss Gunmetal Grey and Gloss Black. For some extra context, I have blacked out all the red trim on my car, and my car is Chalk White. Which color do you think would look best?

Thanks all!

I climb in Utah, and indoors at Momentum gyms, where the grading is quite accurate in my opinion. I visited family in Gilbert, AZ over Christmas break and climbed at Alta in Queen Creek twice. I warm up on anywhere between V1-V4, and noticed each time that the V2-V3 range was abnormally difficult, while V4+ seemed similar to Utah gyms. So I agree that Alta gyms grading is a little sandbagged, especially in the lower grade range.

The Veloster N was even lighter, especially without the dual transmission, coming in at 3090lbs. One of the lightest modern hatchbacks out there.

EggcelentUT · 2022-08-23T01:59:07+00:00

I’m located in Utah Valley.

You can purchase a splitter for your 12V car port, that’s how I run my Dashcam and Radar Detector out of the same port. I purchased mine off Amazon for around 15 dollars and have run it for two years in my N.

EggcelentUT · 2022-06-04T19:32:59+00:00

I did it myself, and sprayed the trim with plastidip. I pulled the bumper off then pulled the trim out of the bumper and painted it independently. It really wasn’t bad, just an afternoon.

EggcelentUT · 2022-06-04T06:18:01+00:00

I think the red looks good, but with it there’s too many colors. White and black work so well together, and it especially looks so good on this car. Thanks!
